I am so glad you are back! You provide me with such a fun variety of news and thoughts. The Dawn Treader looks GREAT and I am looking forward to seeing the movie. I go to one or two big screen movies a year. This will be one of them.
When I was a kid I devoured the Narnia series. When I got saved and started developing a bit of discernment I realized there is a problem with C.S.Lewis.
In the last book the children are in Heaven with Aslan and there is a servant of Tash there. The servant of Tash is confused and says something like “Why am I here? In my life I served Tash, your enemy”.
Aslan answers something like “You did good works in the name of Tash, and I accepted them as service for me. Any good work that is done is done for me.”
Do you see the error here? C.S. Lewis is teaching a form of Universalism here. He is also teaching a form of works salvation.
I’m not saying anything about Lewis’ salvation. I don’t know if he was saved or not, but he had some ideas that were unscriptural and dangerous.
There were errors in the Screwtape letters as well.
For these reasons I am not thrilled that they are creating more Narnia movies. Hollywood was never a friend of the true God.
Hi Daniel,
I also was bothered by the way Lewis dealt with the servant of Tash in The Last Battle. In fact, when I read the book to my children, I deliberately skipped over that part so as not to confuse them.
That said, I wouldn’t be too concerned about C.S. Lewis’ theology. Although there are some areas where I disagree with him, he was definitely not a universalist, and he did not believe or teach salvation by works. Overall, his theology is quite sound, and his writings have helped many Chrsitians over the years grow in their understanding of God in a good way.
